Please note that there is a change to the date of the August Parish Council meeting. This meeting will now be held on Tuesday 28th August 2018. The start time remains the same – 7.30PM, at the Village Hall.
The University of Cambridge’s Higher Education Field Academy (HEFA) is supervising the excavation of a number of archaelogical test pits around the village this week. With the goodwill of local householders supported by Access Cambridge Archaelogy a number of young people will be finding out how to excavate and analyse their findings. For the householders and Gidding History Group this will be a peek into the past.
This year our Service of Remembrance at St Michael’s Church on Sunday 12th November takes place in the late afternoon at 5pm. The Sawtry Branch of the British Legion will be in attendance, and the service will be taken by Revd Mandy Flaherty. Before the service, the restored Roles of Honour will be re-dedicated. These were subject to water damage as a result of the lead theft from the roof.
There will be no morning service.
As the summer seems to have gone on its own holiday we had better consider the autumn harvest of fruit and specifically apples. Last year the community apple juicer and press was put to good use creating home pressed apple juice and at least one demijohn of quite acceptable cider. If you are a village resident then you can borrow the kit for free. To be honest the whole process works better if you can team up and process bucket loads of apples as a group. Slicers, pressers, pourer’s. There’s a task for all the family.
The internet is full of guidance but the savvy householder will know that cleanliness is the watchword in any food processing. Don’t be put off, the taste of home pressed apple juice is worth the effort and if your a little more patient then home made cider/scrumpy is deliriously better than a shop bought fizz.
To borrow the community apple pressing kit please speak to Michael Trolove.

As suggested in the previous post a second autumn visit might be on the cards and this duly happened. The moth team set up at a couple of locations in the Jubilee Wood on a calm moist September evening. Once again the bright lights shone and the moth visitors couldn’t resist. Not so many species this time which reflects the season and also evening conditions can be so fickle to be the difference between good and poor moth activity.
Listed below are the moth species seen and recorded and a separate list of Caddis flies identified.
Particular thanks to Andrew Frost, Kevin Royles and Barry Dickerson for taking the time to lift the lid on the moth world in the Jubilee Wood.
